Her Revenge

Chapter 6

Aldric’s pov

I lived in wealthy life as a crown prince of Ulvania Empire, I'm known to be the next Emperor of an empire and was super respected, i was educated by a high-class tutor when I was just 5 and started doing basics magic and combat training with my father when I was only 7, mother argued and didn't agreed with this at first but it's not only father's choice to train me, it's also my choice to train myself to become a great emperor who protects its land and I admire my father for that, I look up at him and wanted to become like him but much stronger, I want to become great with Alucus my fire dragon by my side.
When Alucus was just a baby he was already my dragon, I kept, trained him, fed him and explored with him.

The life inside the castle wasn't as good as they thought. I have a loving and kind mother but what about my father? As the time passed I got older and realized things weren't right anymore, he was manipulative but what can I do? He's my father, he's an Emperor and I'm his child, he said that I must obey him every single time.

My favorite dessert was lemon cake that my mother baked, even though the first time I tried it it's so bitter and burnt. I appreciate my mother's effort as she kept trying and trying countless of times to bake a good and delicious lemon cake. As for my dad, well I didn't really understand him. He has so many mixed emotions, the only thing I know is that he wants to be respected. Always.

When I heard that there's an intruder that happened in the Grand Ducal's Palace I got worried and went there with my father I got relief when i saw my mother safe and sound, for real I was really thankful on whoever saved my mom but when I found out it's an outsider I got curious but pissed at the same, i always hated outsider from what happened back then. I always think that all outsiders were all the same.
Heartless and bad.

That's why if I saw Ziana roaming around the palace freely made my blood boil but i must admit that I'm relieved that she's there and protected my mother from those three intruder's, and now she's In front of me carrying a tray with my favorite lemon cake in it, what had came into my mother to send her here, it could have just been lady Yeoana or the others but just not her.

“Let's spar, I'll go easy on you, if you defeat me I will stop calling you ‘outsider’ from now on.” I said then picked a two wooden sword on the side and threw the other one at her. “Don't worry, I won't use my power.” I then started walking in the middle of the field, I looked back at her as she just stood there and stared at me. “Don't need to feel scared, I'll go easy on you.”

Ziana rolled her eyes and sighed and said “I'm not scared, prince Aldric, look I'm in my dress, how can I fight when I'm dressed in this heavy and uncomfortable outfit?” She then placed the wooden sword down the table.

I just realized that, I didn't really pay that much attention. “Oh right, how about you go and change, I really want to test your strength you know?” I said then started to approach her. “Wait, do you even have some—” before I could finish my words she interrupted me which I really hated so much.

“Yes, I have spare combat clothes that I usually used back then, I'll be right back.” Before I could talk to her she immediately ran to go outside. She seems excited, well I don't know why. I looked at the table and saw the cake there. Maybe I should just eat this delicious cake while waiting for her.

After a minute she still hasn't come back that I planned on just leaving but before I could walk away the door opened revealing Ziana in a white shirt and long brown tight shorts, her outfit was simple but it complimented her beauty. She approached the table walking past me before picking the wooden sword.

“Oh, you already finished the cake? It's good isn't it?” She asked as she walked in the middle of the field and I just followed her behind.

“Don't act like we're good friends or something.” I said that made her chuckle.
